Properties of short-range and long-range correlation energy density functionals from electron-electron coalescence
The combination of density-functional theory with other approaches to the many-electron problem through the separation of the electron-electron interaction into a short-range and a long-range contribution is a promising method, which is raising more and more interest in recent years. In this work some properties of the corresponding correlation energy functionals are derived by studying the ele...
متن کاملDensity Functionals for the Yukawa Electron-Electron Interaction
m Short-range nonclassical electron-electron interaction is described by a density functional in a scheme that allows multideterminant wave functions. The parameter that determines the coupling with the configuration-interaction-type calculations can be chosen in a controlled manner. Results are presented for the He and the Be series using a Yukawa-type interaction.
متن کاملImplicit and Explicit Coverage of Multi-reference Effects by Density Functional Theory
Multi-reference effects can be covered by density functional theory (DFT) either implicitly via the exchange-correlation functional or explicitly via the form of the Kohn-Sham wave function. With the help of the exchange hole it is shown that the self-interaction error of the exchange functional will mimic long-range electron correlation effects if restricted Kohn-Sham theory is used. Functiona...
متن کاملShort-range exchange and correlation energy density functionals: beyond the local-density approximation.
We propose approximations which go beyond the local-density approximation for the short-range exchange and correlation density functionals appearing in a multideterminantal extension of the Kohn-Sham scheme. A first approximation consists of defining locally the range of the interaction in the correlation functional. Another approximation, more conventional, is based on a gradient expansion of ...

Density functional methods were developed, in which the Coulomb electron-electron interaction is split into a longand a short-range part. In such methods, one term is calculated using traditional density functional approximations, like the local density approximation. The present paper tries to shed some light upon the best way to do it by comparing the accuracy of the local density approximati...
